A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her
students.
The teacher asked, "Eddy what is your problem?" Eddy
answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My
sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she
is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"
The teacher had had enough.
She took Eddy to the principal's office.
While Eddy waited in the outer office, the teacher
explained to the principal what the situation was.
The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a
test and if he failed to answer any of his questions
he was to go back to the first-grade and behave.
The teacher agreed.
Eddy was brought in and the conditions were explained
to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Eddy: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Eddy: "36".
And so it went with every question the principal
thought a third-grader should know.
The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I
think Eddy can go to the third-grade."
The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him
some questions?"
The principal and Eddy both agree.
The teacher asks, "What does a cow have four of that I
have only two of?"
Eddy, after a moment, "Legs."
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do
not have?"
The principal wondered, why does she ask such a
question!
Eddy replied, "Pockets."
Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Eddy: "Pants"
Teacher: What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is
hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish
liquid?
Eddy: Coconut
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he
could stop the answer,
Eddy was taking charge.
Teacher: What goes in hard and pink then comes out
soft and sticky?
Eddy: Bubblegum
Teacher: What does a man do standing up, a woman do
sitting down and a dog do on three legs?
The principal's eyes open really wide and before he
could stop the answer.
Eddy: Shake hands
Teacher: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of
questions, okay?
Eddy: Yep.
Teacher: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me
down to get me up. I get wet before you do.
Eddy: Tent
Teacher: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when
you're bored. The best man always has me first.
Principal was looking restless and bit tense.
Eddy: Wedding Ring
Teacher: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I
drip. When you blow me, you feel good.
Eddy: Nose
Teacher: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I
come with a quiver.
Eddy: Arrow
Teacher: What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K'
that means a lot of excitement?
Eddy: Firetruck
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the
teacher, "Put Eddy in the fifth-grade, I missed the
last ten questions myself."
